Thursday, November 04
10:30 am – 12:00 noon – Special Interest Group (Mesa, a Python-based agent-based modeling Framework)
The Mesa SIG will provide an introduction to Mesa, a Python agent-based modeling library. In the first half, participants will be introduced to Mesa’s modeling components, analytic tools, and visualization front-end, and build a simple demo model. The second half will include a discussion of future capabilities and priorities, and how participants can get involved in Mesa’s development and community.
Organizers: Tom Pike, David Masad, and Jacqueline Kazil
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Welcome Reception – Feel free to join (virtually, of course) and reconnect.
